For most misdemeanor crimes, there isn't a fair equal punishment to apply. For the majority of felonies, such as murder, drug trafficking, etc. I think that there could be a common punishment to be put in place. I don't think it's fair for people to be held in captivity in a sort of unconscious like state.

Question 1 - I think that for most misdemeanor crimes and for some felonies, there isnt a fair equal punishment to apply to those crimes. For the majority of felonies, such as murder, drug trafficking, etc. I think that there could be a common punishment to be put in place. I do believe that if you commit a crime, or wrong someone even, that you deserve the punishment put in place. As a society I think that there really isnt a possibility of having such an equal punishment for crimes, as no matter what law there is, someone will be unhappy with it.
Question 4 I think that the prevention of letting the ball continue on
its path did alternate its future. Had Danny not caught the ball, there is no knowing what could have happened to it. This affects the determinist outlook because Johns demonstration showed a contradiction to Dannys statement. By having Danny catch the ball, it shows that someone did have a choice with the outcome of the balls future. This helps prove a freewill advocates theory.
Question 7 Personally I think that it would only be okay to
dehumanize the so called precogs if their consent to become one was given. I dont think its fair for people to be held in captivity in a sort of unconscious like state. Although, I can understand how the visions of these people helped to stop crime as it was going to happen, so I see how it would be beneficial to dehumanize three people in order to prevent other people taking the lives of others.
Question 9 It can be pretty difficult to determine whether or not
someone would commit a crime. If there really isnt any clear and concise evidence proving that someone were going to commit a crime or had premeditated it, then there cant be a way, in my eyes, to balance deterrence and fallibility of the situation. If we stop a person before a crime is going to happen without clear and concise evidence of them doing it, then how will we know if they were going to commit a crime? That could be false imprisonment.
Question 10 As far as I have seen, this sort of system is already
being developed. For example, social media sites like Facebook and
Twitter tailor advertisements to your search history and likes in web
browsers and the sites themselves. Even though its the internet, I dont think that its a violation of privacy, however, if this transitioned into tracking credit card purchases, phone calls, texts, etc. then I would consider that unethical and a violation of privacy.
Question 11 I think that it proves that pre-crime doesnt work at all.
If events could be changed from a precogs vision becoming true, then whos to say that all of the other cases of murders could be changed? If one event can be changed and prove pre-crime to not work, then multiple events could be changed and any outcome could happen.
